Aphorisms by Brett David Tomich

Too much of all our lives are filled with habitual and repetitive tasks that we seem to miss out on many experiences, both physically and mentally. From the time we are born to the day we become adults so many ideas are ingrained into us via personal experience and how we are raised that are unique to the indivual and yet we live in a world in which this is overlooked and rules and standards are developed to best suit the minority of us. Personal bias can't help but to enter into all life experiences. My writing below stems from these thoughts and perceptions.

1) Poetic justice only prevails when the host listener can settle the self down to a point of exhaustion, exhaustion from normalcy, a sort of leniency back into oneself when the mind is given free reign to explore the senses. Poetry will then come to fruition and enchant the mind.
2) We marvel at all the gifts and material entities we accumulate, but we never allow ourselves to receive the true gift, which is the mind. The mind is a sacrificial substance that is exchanged away in a barter for a pre-set life that is forced upon our will from society. After the deal is completed, we are left with routine and monotonous tasks that serve nothing but esteemed prosperity that is initially engraved mentally to us in our youths.
3) Extremities are the cornerstone of total sensation of a life experience. Its allows us to reach the apex of all possible degrees and modes of an action. Choosing to maunder from such a mental condition stops oneself from realizing life's fullest intentions, allowing oneself to be deprived of the phantasm emotion can take us to when at its highest aroused state.
4)It is staggering to me the legion of facts that exist which I will never have the opportunity to contemplate, the multitude of experiences I will miss out on from my physical inabilities, the human reason for action I can not perceive because of personal bias, the systematizing of processes that cause mechanisms to function which I am not capable of comprehending. Tragically, the physical and mental domains of people are so innately limiting.
5) By nature, there is no such mental or physical action that is universally wrongful or righteous. Every activity and engagement must be scrutinized only according to personal terms. What we have is a world population consisting of many customized, individual valus and moral codes. Problem is most of the populous do not recognize this fact and become judgmental and ignorant towards others' ideologies, taken to the extent of forcing their beliefs upon others. This nescience has led to our fraudulant judicial systems and has brainwashed people's minds. It leaves us fooling ourselves into believing how we feel and act is only due to personal volition, when in actuality it is due to conforming to social pressure.
